    An embryo, by definition, is not viable outside of the womb, unless it has been harvested a few days after fertilization and frozen. :)

    I've got severe heart and lung disease that I could die from any second and I still would never want to be cured using embryos. It takes hundreds of embryos just to gain enough stem cells for one treatment. Even for one, I'd say no. If someone said "we have a cure and only one embryo was killed", or even "we made can make a clone of you, and then use that" I'd still say no." If the fetus is left alone to grow by itself it WILL become human unless the body messes it up and decides it's not viable for life. Just because something wouldn't survive in it's natural environment, does that mean we have a right to kill it? Can we take a dolphin and use it for meat and say "it's not viable for life outside the water" - he'd dry up and all sort of problems would kill him. Do we kill old people because some can't live without human assistance such as injections and diaper changes and oxygen machines? No. We are responsible to the dolphin, the old man, and the un-developed human.
